No Honey for 'Caps in Bees Nest

June 27, 2004 - Midwest League (MWL) West Michigan Whitecaps

The West Michigan Whitecaps played in their fourth straight one-run game on Sunday afternoon but came up on the wrong end of the score. The Burlington Bees edged the Whitecaps, 2-1, in Iowa and the two teams end up splitting the four game series that opened the second half of play for both squads with all four games being decided by a single run.

The Whitecaps scored the first run of the game in the second inning on Eric Rodland's RBI double. Burlington took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of that inning with a two-run homer off of 'Caps starter Virgil Vasquez and that would turn out to be the final score of the game.

The 'Caps, who were held to just six hits, had a runner at third base with one out in the both the fourth and ninth innings but couldn't get the tying run home. Vasquez allowed just the two-run homer but saw his personal four-game winning streak snapped with the loss.

The 'Caps now head to South Bend, Indiana, for a pair of games with the South Bend Silver Hawks on Monday night and Tuesday night with both games scheduled to start at 8:00 Michigan time.
